Personality and traits

I don't like it. I think this Peach Crown is crazy. Makes me wanna breathe fire! (Roars) BOWSER SPEAKING A FULL SENTENCE[5]

Oldest Bowser Concept One of the earliest known concepts of Bowser. Bowser SMB Classic An early concept of Bowser kidnapping Peach by Shigeru Miyamoto in the Japanese Super Mario Bros. box art. When Bowser was originally created for Super Mario Bros., he was a typical villain without much personality beyond simply wanting to take over the world and the Mushroom Kingdom. Later games started showing various different aspects of Bowser's character, depending on the nature of the plot. While his main role in most Super Mario installments continues to be that of a simple villain, Bowser's Mario Party series antics typically depict him being more angry, childish, and mischievous than dangerous, and his portrayals in the RPGs ranging from a threatening, yet humorous (a part that diminishes in more recent installments of the Mario & Luigi series) villain to a playable anti-hero. Even when Bowser is acting as a protagonist in a game, however, he expectedly continues to insist he is an evil, malevolent character, and his reasons for helping Mario are typically for his own selfish agendas. Before a battle, Bowser often releases a loud, full-throated roar as intimidation. Like Wario, Bowser is usually thought of as unintelligent. However, the villian can actually be cunning and deceptive as well, as seen in several cases, and even occasionally be one step ahead of Mario and friends, though arrogance can get the best of Bowser.

Bowser's personality is explored most extensively in the various RPGs, starting with the Super Nintendo Entertainment System title, Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars, in which Bowser loses his castle to another villain. As well as the grief he expresses over his castle, Bowser is shown to be as sad as the other playable characters about Geno's body breaking down, and at one point, his boasting takes the form of a haiku. He was also shown to be very concerned about his self-image, as he was shown to be very reluctant to divulge exactly what he meant by having "bigger fish to fry" than kidnapping Princess Toadstool, even considering lying about "taking a vacation" to avoid the humiliation of admitting to his being forced outside of his own castle. As in later RPGs, however, most of Bowser's actions in the game are self-centered, with his motivation for working with the protagonists ranging to reclaiming his stolen castle, kidnapping Peach himself, or preventing another villain from taking over the world, which he himself desires. This last reasoning is also behind Bowser's alliance with Mario and the others in Super Paper Mario, after the somewhat oblivious Koopa is reminded that he cannot conquer anything if Count Bleck's genocidal plan on all worlds comes to fruition. While Bowser is shown to take pride in his villainy and boasts of being a quality "Final Boss" throughout the adventure, he seemingly sacrifices himself to save Mario and the others, and even argues with his rival O'Chunks to save himself while Bowser held the crumbling roof above them (although it is later revealed that they both survived). He is also shown to be as horrified as the rest of the party when witnessing Sammer's Kingdom's destruction (deeming such an evil act as "overkill"), and when learning of King Olly's true aim of wishing genocide upon Toads, Bowser expressed disgust at the goal and made clear that, while he has done his fair share of evil and nasty stuff, even he would never attempt to outright exterminate Toads; a sharp contrast to his attitude in the Super Mario Galaxy games, where he is willing to create his own galaxy at the expense of the universe, as well as in Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam, where he threatens to destroy the paper world.

As in Super Mario Galaxy, most other platformers leave Bowser as a typical, run of the mill villain, as does the RPG Paper Mario: Sticker Star. The original Paper Mario also casts Bowser as the main villain; however, like Super Mario RPG that came before it, this portrayal is more well-rounded, introducing a humorous side to Bowser alongside his evilness, and revealing that he has a crush on Peach. Bowser's affection for the princess is later showcased in Super Paper Mario, with the two being forcibly wed in the game by Count Bleck; while the princess disavows the ceremony, Bowser happily and persistently acts as if they are indeed spouses. Bowser's relationship with Peach also comes into play in Super Mario Sunshine, in which Bowser Jr. apparently believes her to be his mother, although at the end of the game, Bowser sadly admits that he had lied to his child about his parentage. Aside from this, Bowser has never shown remorse for his troublesome actions and the havoc they often cause, but he is often saddened by his own losses. In Super Mario Galaxy, his only regret is his failure to create his own realm, and in Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story, he is dismayed at having to damage his own captured castle while trying to reclaim it from Fawful. By contrast, in Mario Party 4, Bowser grudgingly gives the player a present and wishing them a happy birthday as he leaves in shame, moving one of the Koopa Kids to wonder if there might be more to Bowser than he leads others to believe, as Bowser claimed to be somewhat happy. Despite the presence of offspring, no mate of Bowser has appeared in any story, and his only known relationship is his marriage to a reluctant Princess Peach in Super Paper Mario.

Unlike the platformers and the other Paper Mario titles, Bowser's role is reduced to a dim-witted, bumbling comic relief villain in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, where he encounters frequent comical failures in his attempts to collect the Crystal Stars before Mario. The first two Mario & Luigi titles also cast Bowser as a comical recurring villain, with Partners in Time having him team up with Baby Bowser, whom he did not even recognize as being his infant self. Despite being the central character of Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story, the third Mario & Luigi game reveals nothing new about Bowser's character, but it does provide an overview of his personality to date. His reasons for saving the world from Fawful and the Dark Star involve pride, selfishness, and possessiveness toward Peach, as well as a stated interest in taking over Fawful's plans for himself. He is extremely conceited and boastful about himself and his accomplishments, and he resents having to ask nicely for help from Starlow. He acts as a leader to his troops, and even forgives three of them for defecting to Fawful and allows them back in the Koopa Troop. In the remake, it also elaborates on Bowser's crashing the emergency meeting, revealing that he did so because his kingdom also was affected by the Blorbs outbreak. Bowser's usual rashness and his penchant for destruction and violence come to a head when he flies into a rage upon discovering that Mario and Luigi had been aiding him inside his body the entire time (believing they were partying around inside him) and attacks them, only to be promptly defeated, mere moments after the three of them had worked together to save the world.

In Mario & Luigi: Dream Team, while retaining much of his personality from the previous game, he was given more competence and made into much more of a serious threat; he has Kamek disguise himself as Princess Peach to drop the Mario Bros.' guard, presuming they would try to pursue Peach, and later backstabbed Antasma, anticipating the latter would try to the same on him in turn. He later implied similar designs with his Paper self, and vice-versa, in Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam. However, he surprisingly was willing to work under Master Hand and have an equal partnership with Doctor Eggman. In Paper Mario: Color Splash, Bowser, owing to his being possessed by the black paint for most of the game, was given a far darker personality, namely making clear his intention of "painting the world black", and even going as far as to drain Peach's color and hang her colorless form up for display; when Mario and Huey arrived to fight him in his chambers, he even cracked a dark joke about Peach claiming she was "framed" when he caught her sending messages to Mario. It was also revealed that he deliberately sent a drained Toad via mail to Peach and Mario in order to lure them, and specifically Peach, over to Prism Island so he could abduct her. However, after Mario weakened the black paint's hold on Bowser enough for the latter's usual self to surface, Bowser is deeply and understandably confused as to Mario's presence, clearly unaware of what he was doing all this time.

Bowser can be quite amiable sometimes, with his harsh and raging demeanor softening up towards his minions, and is even capable of being civil to foes in some degrees. He shows genuine affection and pride for his son; both he and his paper self were vehemently angry at Mario, Luigi, and Paper Mario for defeating Bowser Jr. and Paper Bowser Jr. in Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam. In Super Mario Odyssey, along with planning his forced wedding with Peach extensively (wearing a tuxedo, having his mane groomed, and having her wear the stolen Lochlady Dress), he even comments on Mario's costume before their final battle. Depending on the clothes worn, this could prompt anything from a humorously scared response (as seen with the Skeleton Suit, Zombie Outfit, and even costumes like the Clown Outfit and Boxer Shorts) to a genuine compliment on his dress sense, though he will always note that Mario wasn't invited regardless. In Super Mario Party, he participates in the party with no malicious tricks or intents (not even having Kamek, who he put as a judge, tip the scales in his favor) and congratulates the player who becomes the Superstar in a rare form of good sportsmanship. In Paper Mario: The Origami King, Bowser expresses disgust at the way the Folded Soldiers treat him and his minions, to the extent where he pleads them to put down his minions and set him free.

Bowser is often dishonest and treacherous, as well as sadistically enjoying doing really horrid things. While Bowser is not beyond keeping his word, he frequently does break it. Bowser will not hesitate to dispose of those who have outlived their usefulness to him. These sorts of justifications are commonly employed logic for Bowser to get-away with nearly anything as far as he is concerned.

While his range of emotions varies from game to game, it is his nearsightedness, frustration, anger, arrogance, and contempt that typifies Bowser in all his appearances, whether he is a reluctant protagonist or a straightforward villain who cares only about conquering lands and destroying his opposition.

By contrast, in Mario Party 4, Bowser grudgingly gives the player a present and wishes them a happy birthday as he leaves in shame, moving one of the Koopa Kids to wonder if there might be more to Bowser than he leads others to believe, as Bowser claimed to be somewhat happy.

Perhaps humorously, he does have a soft side. In the Mario Party series, specifically the older games, whenever a character encounters Bowser and does not have any Stars or Coins, Bowser will often express genunie disappointment for them being broke and even gives them some of the latter (much to the character's surprise). In the latest installments, however, he angrily tells them to leave in frustration due to himself not being able to steal Coins.

With the aforementioned statements in mind, despite being the main villain of the Mario series, Bowser does have standards against crossing the line of doing foul actions and is therefore not always inherently evil.

Relationships

Main article: Bowser/Relationships Powers and abilities

SM64 Bowser burning Mario artwork Bowser attacking Mario with his signature Flame Breath in an artwork of Super Mario 64 As the main villain across many games of the Mario franchise, Bowser has displayed a variety of powers both physical and magical. At his most basic, Bowser can breathe fire, shred targets with his claws, move large masses with his incredible strength and withstand an onslaught of powerful attacks from the likes of Mario and even his own dark counterpart. Bowser is often a capable magic user too, once even being called a sorcerer-king.[6]

He also boasts a number of transformations, some originating from his own biology and others via a magical item. Most of them, however, involve Bowser growing to gigantic proportions. Physical

Bowser's ability to spit fire appears to be entirely natural to his biology, as he possessed it even in his infancy and it's tied into the functions of his internal organs.[7][8] He can emit this fire in the form of fireballs, streams of flame and as fiery rain. These are considerably dangerous, as they can blast through stone and liquefy metal.

Complimenting his size, Bowser boasts truly monstrous strength. His jumps are able to produce shockwaves and he can tear through the landscape with his bare hands. Without assistance, he was able to hold up a giant iron cannonball several times his own size, which exceeded a weight of 1 Million pounds.[9] With stress-induced strength, he was able to move an entire island.

The organs inside Bowser's body have the ability to briefly increase his abilities to extreme degrees in moments of stress. This can manifest in drastically increased speed, strength and even size, wherein he becomes as large as his castle. However, it doesn't appear he can do this on command and needs outside assistance. After eating the Vacuum Shroom, Bowser gained the power to inhale anything into his body with a torrential suction force, miniaturizing them.

Transforming objects is his earliest specialty. It was he who cast the spell that turned the Toads of the Mushroom Kingdom into bricks[10], changed his minions into the Fake Bowsers and turned Yoshi's Island into a storybook[11]. In the Mario Party series, he transforms a Koopa into a frog.

He has extensive skill at manipulating the earth, which he developed due to his jealously at Mallow's ability to control the weather.[12] He can spit flaming meteors to destroy platforms or crystallize a target, coat himself in a stone boulder & perform a powerful rolling attack, summon boulders or metal Bowser shells from thin air and even beckon the earth to sprout a colossal spike beneath a foe. It's unclear if this control of the earth is magical in nature or a type of elemental telekinesis.

Twice Bowser has manipulated lightning by himself, even producing thunderclouds. He conjured his entire 30-floor tower from thin air. He can make copies of objects and people, having produced Bubble Clones of the main cast within that tower and elsewhere made copies of his wedding cap to attack Mario. He can create barriers and use generic telekinesis to manipulate objects like the Giga Bells. Inexplicably, he was once shown flying unassisted after his defeat in World 8- BowserIcon SM3DW : Part 1.

If killed, Bowser can reanimate himself as Dry Bowser, his Dry Bones form. In this skeletal form, Bowser becomes immune to fireballs and lava. When damaged, he will fall apart but quickly pull himself back together unharmed. He can expel blue flames, and use dark portals to transport himself and his allies between locations as desired.

Although Bowser has performed many other magical feats, most seem to be derived from or enhanced by an external power source:

Transformations

Fury bowsers traits

Appearance

In this form, Bowser becomes a gargantuan kaiju, being one of the largest physical forms that he has ever taken (along with Giant Bowser). Similar to Black Bowser from Paper Mario: Color Splash, Bowser's skin becomes entirely a black color with glowing yellow eyes without pupils, though in contrast, his hair glows a bright red and the tips of his shell spikes glow yellow and red. In comparison to his normal self, his body is much larger than his head, his tail is somewhat longer, and he also has noticeably larger pectoral muscles, a trait shared by his Super Smash Bros. appearances.

Fury Bowser has amplified versions of his fire breath attacks. He can rain meteors across entire islands and breathe long beams of fire at his targets. Compared to Bowser's normal roar, which is menacing but still cartoony-sounding, and even Dry Bowser's roar, which is less cartoony but still ferocious, Fury Bowser's roar is much more intimidating, sounding deeper and almost demonic, and has a reverberating echo effect to it.

After you collect all 100 "Cat Shine"s, Bowser becomes much harder to defeat. In his Fury form, his hair changes from a flaming red into a pure white color. Same goes for his chest and spikes on his shell. History

Bowser's Fury

In Bowser's Fury, similar to Black Bowser from Paper Mario: Color Splash, Bowser becomes corrupted by black paint, which causes him to becomes a gargantuan kaiju. It was later revealed the form was caused by Bowser Jr. painting on his dad as a prank while he was napping, which massively backfired due to Bowser being corrupted by the black paint Jr. used.

He is seen terrorizing Lake Lapcat, and Mario, with assistance from Bowser Jr., works to take down Fury Bowser by using the power of the Giga Bell.

Battle

Typically, Fury Bowser awakens and goes on a rampage at intervals of roughly six minutes, but using the Bowser Amiibo in the game can cause him to appear at the player's command. After a while, or if the player collects a Cat Shine, Fury Bowser will stop attacking and go back into his slumber.

After obtaining the Giga Bell and becoming Giga Cat Mario, a fight will occur. Bowser will do a few attacks: he will either use his fire breath, jump up and try to ground pound Mario, causing a fire shockwave to come out upon landing, or dig into the ground and cause spikes to rain out. Mario can damage Bowser by claw swiping him or ground pounding when Bowser is vulnerable, which is when he is on his back in his shell. A health bar in red will be above Bowser, showing his health. This will deplete when he is hit or when he is stunned by a cat shine Mario collects when not giant. It takes a total of six Giga ground pounds to deplete his health bar on the first stage. After enough damage, Bowser will be heavily knocked back and fall to the ground, seemingly unconscious. Two different cutscenes will play after the fight commences depending on the health: if there is health left when the cutscene plays, Bowser will get back up, roar, and then leave. If his health reaches zero, he will glow brighter and brighter until a massive explosion occurs. Bowser, in his shell, would fly up from the blast and hit the water, before sinking back down.

As the game progresses, Fury Bowser's behavior, and the color of the sky, changes. On the first island, the sky will be black, and Bowser will only stay for a few minutes, or until a shine is collected. During the second island, the sky will be a slight red, and Bowser will stay much longer, usually needing a shine or lighthouse to have him retreat quickly. On the third one, the sky is colored a much deeper red, and Bowser will stay longer. It is on the third stage where neither the shine nor the lighthouses will repel him, meaning the only way to get rid of him is to get enough shines to activate the Giga Bell, then proceed to fight him.

Bowser will start to roll in phase two, usually on his side towards Mario. On phase three, he will now shoot spikes and fire a ring of fireballs, and ground pound multiple times. The spikes he shoots can be picked up and thrown at him to stun him.
